“I have seized the light. I have arrested its flight.”
Here, at FIW Quotes, we love… quotes, of course. Quotes are those special words that are great with some photos. We love photos like we love quotes. That’s why we want to celebrate Louis Daguerre birthday. Who was Louis Daguerre? We (and the entire World) call him the father of photography.
Happy birthday, Louis Daguerre! We found only one quote from him, but we need to appreciate his art because we all use photos nowadays.

The Four Reliances
First, rely on the spirit and meaning of the teachings, not on the words;
Second, rely on the teachings, not on the personality of the teacher;
Third, rely on real wisdom, not superficial interpretation;
And fourth, rely on the essence of your pure Wisdom Mind, not on judgmental perceptions.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our world.
To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

On life’s journey Faith is nourishment,
Virtuous deeds are a shelter,
Wisdom is the light by day and Right mindfulness is the protection by night.
If a man lives a pure life nothing can destroy him;
If he has conquered greed nothing can limit his freedom.
